Application filed July 7, 1923, SeraI This invention relates to an improv-cd game played with cards, the general object ofthe invention being to provide the cards with representations of horse shoes and pegs so that a gaine, simulating vthe game ot' pitching horse shoes, can be played with the cards. Y

Another object ot the invention is to so arrange the pictures on the cards that every score that it is possible to make with two horse shoes is shown on the cards, thus permitting persons who are fond of the game ot pitching horse shoes to play the game with the'cards when it is impossible to play the real game and the cards till also teach the real game of pitching horse shoes.
